Welcome to the monthly r/flashlight Buy, Sell, Trade thread!
How can you participate? Some rules:
Prove possession by including at least one photo of every item that you are trading. The photo must include a piece of paper with your reddit username and the posting date hand written.
Use only top level comments for items.
Please take necessary precautions; trading over the internet is risky. Moderators hold no control over deals, good or bad.
Format the beginning of your Top Level comment:
[WTB] = Want to Buy
[WTS] = Want to Sell
[WTT] = Want to TradeReposting unsold items from previous BST's is fine: feel free to paste your old comment into this thread.
This post is in contest mode so child comments are automatically hidden and may not be seen. When lowering prices or announcing sold items, please edit the original parent comment. When lowering prices, cross out the old price and add the new price; e.g. $75 $70 (Strike-through formatting is two "~" marks on either side of the text you want struck.)
Looking to trade a light and this post is no longer active? We recommend trying /r/EDCexchange.
You can view (and maybe trade) items from previous BST threads.
Time for another giveaway!
I've got a piece of unrelated news: the mobile theme for my site has been substantially improved. Much better use of limited screen space. Hope you guys like it ^_^ (There will be more details in my monthly update about that.)
If you are new here and not familiar with my past giveaways: it isn't for a specific model of flashlight. I won't ask you to pump up some facebook or instagram post. Instead you get to pick the perfect light of your choice from Amazon's catalog up to a price limit. Since we've just hit 62k subscribers the price limit will be $62 for this giveaway.
Conveniently I have a flashlight search engine that I spend all of my free time on. Filtering by price is one of the many things it can do and here are some under $62 lights courtesy of it. But you are not limited to those options. Any flashlight/headlamp/lantern on Amazon is fair game. My site is just to help you get started.
To enter you need to meet the standard account age and karma requirements (2 months old, 100 comment karma) and post an amazon.com link in a single top-level comment to the prize you would like. This giveaway is open to everyone in the world if amazon.com will ship to you. Only one entry per person!
International people: please try to keep combined price+shipping under the limit.
On Monday the 2nd, noon PST I will randomly select and contact the winner. Void where prohibited, etc.
